This trial tests ways to reduce skin irritation and side effects caused by radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. If you are getting Tomotherapy radiation, the study may help you have fewer skin problems during treatment.
This trial tests an oral (mouth) care program for people with head and neck cancer who are about to start full-dose, curative radiation. It may help protect your mouth and salivary glands during treatment.
This trial tests whether a spa therapy program can improve “fibrosis,” or stiffened/scarred tissue and related skin problems, after radiotherapy for breast cancer or upper head/neck cancers. It aims to see if treatment can improve quality of life for people who still have moderate-to-worse symptoms months after radiation.
This trial tests a new type of cream made with tiny particles that mop up harmful molecules to prevent or treat skin damage from radiation. It is for people with head or neck cancer receiving high-dose radiation to see if it can reduce skin redness, pain, and peeling.
This trial tests if a diclofenac cream can help prevent skin redness, peeling, or pain caused by radiation therapy. It is for people with certain head and neck cancers or breast cancer who are starting radiation treatment.
This study tests whether soaking the skin in normal saline (a saltwater solution) during radiation therapy can help manage a common side effect called radiation dermatitis, which causes redness, peeling, and discomfort. If you are receiving radiation for sarcomas or head and neck cancer, this simple home care approach may reduce skin irritation and improve your comfort during treatment.
